1
00:00:00,500 --> 00:00:02,800
Deuteronomy chapter 10, we're 
still going through our study in

2
00:00:02,800 --> 00:00:06,200
the book of Deuteronomy, but 
we're trusting that's going to 

3
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:09,800
be a life-changing word 
regardless, even though we're 

4
00:00:09,800 --> 00:00:12,000
going through a chapter by 
chapter, we still believe that 

5
00:00:12,000 --> 00:00:14,000
it is living and has something 
for us right now. 

6
00:00:17,500 --> 00:00:19,900
Let's pray one more time, okay? 
As we, as we do this together, 

7
00:00:19,900 --> 00:00:23,800
father in Jesus name, Many 
people in here, might be 

8
00:00:23,800 --> 00:00:27,500
exhausted after conference. 
And in coming here, in the 

9
00:00:27,500 --> 00:00:30,200
beginning of the week to work, 
or to go to school below. 

10
00:00:30,200 --> 00:00:32,900
We're here. 
And we need another touch even 

11
00:00:32,900 --> 00:00:35,500
though we were touched last week
and we still need fresh bread. 

12
00:00:36,500 --> 00:00:38,100
We can't survive a day without 
you. 

13
00:00:38,500 --> 00:00:43,500
So Lord, we just pray for total 
Clarity Precision, Lord, freedom

14
00:00:43,500 --> 00:00:47,700
from confusion, and even more a 
conviction for those who need 

15
00:00:47,700 --> 00:00:51,200
it, father and a comfort for 
those who equally needed. 

16
00:00:51,500 --> 00:00:55,700
And where we That in this time. 
As we rehearse, these truths we 

17
00:00:55,700 --> 00:00:58,200
would leave here refreshed with 
the knowledge of who you are. 

18
00:00:58,900 --> 00:01:02,400
Lord, it's still on my heart to 
pray for the young preacher that

19
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:05,500
took his own life. 
This week, we lift up, Jared, 

20
00:01:05,500 --> 00:01:08,400
Wilson's, family to you, Lord, 
we don't have the answers to 

21
00:01:08,400 --> 00:01:12,000
questions, but father, we pray 
for his wife and we pray for his

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:15,700
to baby boy, is Lord. 
We ask for a supernatural peace,

23
00:01:16,100 --> 00:01:19,800
to come upon them. 
We pray for the church Lord. 

24
00:01:20,400 --> 00:01:22,200
We pray for the people that 
might be. 

25
00:01:22,300 --> 00:01:26,200
Be wondering how a leader can 
come to that point and we pray 

26
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:30,600
just for a comfort to come as 
well and assistance from your 

27
00:01:30,600 --> 00:01:33,800
Holy Spirit to bring a Serenity 
in a trust that you're in 

28
00:01:33,800 --> 00:01:36,900
control. 
Lord, we think of Isaiah 61 

29
00:01:36,900 --> 00:01:41,400
father, when King Uzziah died as
I said, and I saw the Lord. 

30
00:01:41,900 --> 00:01:45,600
And so Lord, despite death, and 
despite disappointment, or we 

31
00:01:45,600 --> 00:01:48,800
choose to look at you and see 
that you are seated, high and 

32
00:01:48,800 --> 00:01:51,600
lifted up. 
Father, we just pray that if 

33
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:55,500
anybody in here, In despair to 
the point where they don't see 

34
00:01:55,500 --> 00:01:59,400
another day Worth Living. 
Lord, you would Breathe, hope 

35
00:01:59,400 --> 00:02:03,100
through this word and that, it 
would bring a sense of trust in 

36
00:02:03,100 --> 00:02:03,800
you. 
Lord. 

37
00:02:04,300 --> 00:02:07,200
And father, we think of, even 
the song that we just sang, I 

38
00:02:07,200 --> 00:02:10,500
Believe In the resurrection and 
I believe that Jesus will come 

39
00:02:10,500 --> 00:02:12,400
again. 
Lord, we sometimes in these 

40
00:02:12,400 --> 00:02:14,900
moments aching in pain wish for 
that day to be. 

41
00:02:14,900 --> 00:02:18,100
Now, that you would come and 
sweep this up from this world, 

42
00:02:18,100 --> 00:02:22,000
from Temptation, from sin, from 
all these broken, things that we

43
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:24,800
hear Or of and experience. 
Lord, come and rescue us. 

44
00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:29,400
We say with the spirit, come 
Lord, Jesus, we anticipate your 

45
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:32,200
return until then, teach us what
you want us to know. 

46
00:02:32,900 --> 00:02:37,400
In Jesus name we pray, amen. 
Think it serves. 

47
00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:40,800
Purpose to remind ourselves 
where we left off. 

48
00:02:41,900 --> 00:02:44,200
Remember the whole point of the 
book of Deuteronomy is simply 

49
00:02:44,200 --> 00:02:47,300
this that God is speaking 
through Moses to this generation

50
00:02:47,300 --> 00:02:50,000
of Israelites to go into the 
promised land, which symbolizes 

51
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:53,600
the central desire for his will 
for their lives filled with 

52
00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,500
blessing and purpose, it's the 
same thing for you. 

53
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:59,100
And I but it comes with 
conditions because we can enter 

54
00:02:59,100 --> 00:03:01,400
into the, will of God, like, 
many people have, but then 

55
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,400
forfeited or walk away from it 
or Spradley come in and out of 

56
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,200
it. 
And what Moses is teaching, the 

57
00:03:06,200 --> 00:03:09,600
people is how to remain in 
longevity for their purpose in 

58
00:03:09,600 --> 00:03:11,600
God. 
And we talked about many things,

59
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:14,700
talked about the warning of 
enemies that await we talked 

60
00:03:14,700 --> 00:03:20,300
about the Enemy Within my own 
heart that refuses to fear God 

61
00:03:20,700 --> 00:03:25,000
that refuses to love God. 
We talked about last time we 

62
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:28,500
were together two main things in
chapter 9 and that was this the 

63
00:03:28,500 --> 00:03:33,000
practice of remembering our past
not just our past in general but

64
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:37,400
our past failures we go I try to
forget my past why would I want 

65
00:03:37,400 --> 00:03:39,500
to remember it? 
Because there's a holy purpose 

66
00:03:39,500 --> 00:03:43,600
in that and it is not to Cripple
me or condemn me or remove hope 

67
00:03:43,600 --> 00:03:46,300
for a brighter day tomorrow for 
God to use me or to reveal 

68
00:03:46,300 --> 00:03:49,300
himself to me. 
No is to remember what happened 

69
00:03:49,300 --> 00:03:51,900
in the past. 
To not repeat it again to 

70
00:03:51,900 --> 00:03:55,200
remember the pain that Hold the 
shame and to bring that memory 

71
00:03:55,200 --> 00:03:57,400
before me so that when 
Temptation comes and says hey 

72
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,000
this is going to feel really 
good or hey, you're really going

73
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:02,500
to get away with it or hey, this
is a better route than God's 

74
00:04:02,500 --> 00:04:03,500
route. 
You will go. 

75
00:04:03,500 --> 00:04:06,900
I done it my way and I remember 
that feeling, I remember who I 

76
00:04:06,900 --> 00:04:09,500
heard, I remember I grieve. 
God no, thank you. 

77
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:11,900
That's what we remember our 
past. 

78
00:04:12,700 --> 00:04:16,600
And we also remember our past 
failures to Relish in the 

79
00:04:16,600 --> 00:04:19,800
Limitless grace of God to 
realize, he's forgiven me. 

80
00:04:20,200 --> 00:04:22,500
And he is good to me. 
And so that's what we talked 

81
00:04:22,500 --> 00:04:23,700
about. 
There was a second thing. 

82
00:04:23,700 --> 00:04:27,000
Moses repeated himself in 
chapter 9 reminding them of 

83
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:30,300
despite their failures 
specifically five failures and 

84
00:04:30,300 --> 00:04:33,500
five different locations. 
He was up on a mountain on his 

85
00:04:33,500 --> 00:04:38,700
face for 40 days and 40 nights 
interceding for them. what was 

86
00:04:38,700 --> 00:04:40,800
the danger in chapter 9 that 
they would come into the 

87
00:04:40,800 --> 00:04:44,000
promised land and say, all of 
this good stuff is happening 

88
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,600
because I'm righteous and Moses 
by the spear goes. 

89
00:04:47,800 --> 00:04:49,800
Hmm, actually you failed many 
times. 

90
00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:53,300
So let's go back and remember 
that and to while you were there

91
00:04:53,300 --> 00:04:55,100
failing, I was there 
interceding. 

92
00:04:57,300 --> 00:05:01,900
I was crying out to God for you.
And so Moses was reminding him 

93
00:05:01,900 --> 00:05:05,300
of his position. 
As a mediator reminding them 

94
00:05:05,300 --> 00:05:07,400
that it was his crying out to 
God. 

95
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,800
That even brought them to this 
place where we are in 

96
00:05:09,800 --> 00:05:13,200
Deuteronomy, right at the border
between the Wilderness and the 

97
00:05:13,200 --> 00:05:15,900
promised land. 
And so he's reminding that 

98
00:05:15,900 --> 00:05:18,700
you're here by grace and 
whatever you experience in the 

99
00:05:18,707 --> 00:05:21,700
promised land. 
That is all by Grace. 

100
00:05:21,700 --> 00:05:24,300
But now we come to chapter 10 
and Moses wants to go from that 

101
00:05:24,300 --> 00:05:29,100
point to explain further truth. 
And so from verse 1, remember 

102
00:05:29,100 --> 00:05:32,000
the last thing we read was He 
just cried out to God for them 

103
00:05:32,300 --> 00:05:35,500
and now he says something else 
here verse 1. 

104
00:05:35,500 --> 00:05:39,600
It says at that time, the Lord 
said to me at what time the 

105
00:05:39,600 --> 00:05:41,600
time--where you failed over and 
over again. 

106
00:05:41,600 --> 00:05:44,800
And I lay prostrate before God 
and cried out to you at that 

107
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,100
time. 
The Lord said to me, cut for 

108
00:05:47,100 --> 00:05:53,200
yourself, two tablets of stone, 
like the first and come up to me

109
00:05:53,200 --> 00:05:55,500
on the mountain and make an arc 
of wood. 

110
00:05:56,300 --> 00:05:59,100
And I will write on the tablets,
the words that were on the first

111
00:05:59,100 --> 00:06:04,600
tablets that you broke and you 
shall put them in the ark. so 

112
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:08,900
chapter 10 tells us the result 
of his prayers he saying, 

113
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:11,900
because I prayed for you, let me
let me remind you remember 

114
00:06:11,900 --> 00:06:15,800
chapter divisions, aren't 
inspired You know, verses and 

115
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:18,200
chapters those weren't in the 
original text, those are there 

116
00:06:18,200 --> 00:06:21,200
for our sake and for our 
reference much later than when 

117
00:06:21,200 --> 00:06:23,400
the scriptures were written. 
So there's a flow here. 

118
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:26,300
So remove the 10 there and it's 
a continuation of thought. 

119
00:06:26,400 --> 00:06:29,600
I've been praying for you, and 
here's the result of me standing

120
00:06:29,600 --> 00:06:35,100
in the gap for you. 
God spoke and God said, cut two 

121
00:06:35,100 --> 00:06:38,600
tablets for me. 
In other words because of my 

122
00:06:38,600 --> 00:06:44,400
Ministry and my position, as a 
mediator, despite your failures.

123
00:06:45,700 --> 00:06:47,800
You now have a renewed 
relationship with God. 

124
00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:50,700
God desires to renew Covenant 
with you. 

125
00:06:50,900 --> 00:06:53,200
God desires to restore 
fellowship with you. 

126
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,600
God desires to resume the 
program in the plan that he has 

127
00:06:56,600 --> 00:06:59,000
had for you but that is based on
Not Your Righteous. 

128
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,700
Remember he still hammering this
point. 

129
00:07:00,800 --> 00:07:03,900
It's not your righteousness. 
I stood in the gap for you. 

130
00:07:05,500 --> 00:07:07,800
And we have to understand this 
because this is a picture of the

131
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:11,400
New Covenant that Jesus Christ. 
The greater Moses does the same 

132
00:07:11,400 --> 00:07:15,100
for you and I on a daily basis 
on a daily basis. 

133
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:19,200
We fail on a daily basis, and 
instead of cutting ourselves off

134
00:07:19,200 --> 00:07:21,900
from the blessings of God 
cutting ourselves off from the 

135
00:07:21,900 --> 00:07:26,100
goodness of God, there is one, 
who is pleading for us from a 

136
00:07:26,100 --> 00:07:29,600
once and for all sacrifice, 
granting us restoration and 

137
00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:34,500
reconciliation with the father 
So this is what they are 

138
00:07:34,500 --> 00:07:37,100
rehearsing and this is what we 
need to rehearse as well. 

139
00:07:37,100 --> 00:07:39,700
That there is one who stands in 
the gap for me. 

140
00:07:39,700 --> 00:07:43,300
When I fail, I come to him and 
he restores Fellowship from my 

141
00:07:43,300 --> 00:07:49,500
failure, but notice an emphasis 
here, he says cut for me to 

142
00:07:49,500 --> 00:07:53,800
stones. 
So, in this case, the Covenant 

143
00:07:53,800 --> 00:07:57,900
being restored to restored is in
the expression of these two 

144
00:07:57,900 --> 00:08:04,000
Tablets by Stone written by God,
to re stablish the commitment 

145
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,100
from the people towards God. 
But I read slowly look what it 

146
00:08:08,100 --> 00:08:11,700
says here in verse 1 cup for 
yourself, two, tablets of stone 

147
00:08:11,700 --> 00:08:15,700
like the first, like the first 
you go to verse tune. 

148
00:08:16,800 --> 00:08:20,000
And I will write on the tablets,
the words that were on the first

149
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:23,100
tablets. 
Then you come to verse three. 

150
00:08:24,900 --> 00:08:28,700
Cut two tablets of stone like 
the first and he says the same 

151
00:08:28,700 --> 00:08:33,400
thing in verse 4. 
So he is very specific in his 

152
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,200
instructions. 
He's saying, listen, we're going

153
00:08:35,200 --> 00:08:37,200
to restore this Covenant, we're 
going to restore this 

154
00:08:37,200 --> 00:08:40,700
commitment, and this contract, 
but when you make these Stones, 

155
00:08:40,799 --> 00:08:45,000
I want you to copy paste. 
The same ones that you broke. 

156
00:08:45,100 --> 00:08:49,000
When did he break them? 
He came down from Exodus 32 in 

157
00:08:49,000 --> 00:08:51,100
the mountain and he saw them all
dancing around having a club 

158
00:08:51,100 --> 00:08:52,600
party time around the golden 
calf. 

159
00:08:52,600 --> 00:08:54,400
He was so angry. 
He broke those stones so they 

160
00:08:54,400 --> 00:08:58,700
have to restore those stones and
he says I want them the same way

161
00:08:58,700 --> 00:09:03,500
that I made them originally. 
What does that mean? 

162
00:09:04,400 --> 00:09:08,300
This is what it means. 
That despite of the failure of 

163
00:09:08,300 --> 00:09:12,400
the people to keep the commands 
of God, God has no intention 

164
00:09:12,400 --> 00:09:17,700
ever to change his laws. 
God will never change his 

165
00:09:17,700 --> 00:09:21,200
righteous standard even if we 
fail to keep them. 

166
00:09:22,300 --> 00:09:26,300
His word is eternal, his 
Holiness remains. 

167
00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,800
And so we might look at the word
and go, that seems kind of 

168
00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:33,500
severe and God does not budge 
because God's laws are an 

169
00:09:33,508 --> 00:09:36,700
expression of his character. 
And so when he tells Moses do it

170
00:09:36,700 --> 00:09:39,600
the same way as before, not 
because they failed, I'm going 

171
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:40,800
to change and I'll bring him 
okay. 

172
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:42,500
You know what? 
Yeah, you could commit adultery.

173
00:09:42,500 --> 00:09:44,500
I see that. 
You can't contain yourself and 

174
00:09:44,500 --> 00:09:46,700
you can covet a little bit. 
I see that, you know, where 

175
00:09:46,700 --> 00:09:47,900
human he goes. 
Nope. 

176
00:09:48,900 --> 00:09:52,600
Same standard. 
Unchanging. 

177
00:09:55,400 --> 00:09:57,900
And that's important for us to 
understand because the issue is 

178
00:09:57,900 --> 00:10:03,500
not with God's laws. 
See people failing over and over

179
00:10:03,500 --> 00:10:06,500
over again. 
People that want to create 

180
00:10:06,500 --> 00:10:08,500
sexuality marriage their own 
way. 

181
00:10:08,600 --> 00:10:12,700
It's not because God's laws are 
out of touch with culture or do 

182
00:10:12,700 --> 00:10:16,300
not meet the human need or do 
not lead us to True Joy. 

183
00:10:16,300 --> 00:10:20,100
Like that's not the reason it's 
not God's laws its human hearts.

184
00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:27,100
That is the problem that is the 
issue and so the solution is not

185
00:10:27,100 --> 00:10:31,200
to change the tablets of stone 
that God had already created and

186
00:10:31,200 --> 00:10:34,200
established in heaven. 
It's the change. 

187
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:37,400
Another type of stone. 
Can you guess what that stone 

188
00:10:37,400 --> 00:10:41,700
is? 
Ezekiel 36:26 tells us that part

189
00:10:41,700 --> 00:10:44,900
of the New Covenant is not God 
removing his righteous 

190
00:10:44,900 --> 00:10:48,300
standards. 
It's not God, minimizing it or 

191
00:10:48,700 --> 00:10:51,200
excluding some commands. 
That's not God's standard. 

192
00:10:51,900 --> 00:10:55,200
What God is going to do is he's 
going to keep his righteous laws

193
00:10:55,200 --> 00:10:58,200
on those tablets of stone. 
But he's going to come into the 

194
00:10:58,200 --> 00:11:01,300
cavity of our chest, open it up.
Take what? 

195
00:11:03,100 --> 00:11:06,000
I will remove the Heart of Stone
from your flesh. 

196
00:11:08,100 --> 00:11:11,800
And give you a heart of Flesh. 
That's the standard. 

197
00:11:12,500 --> 00:11:14,300
You know what many people have 
this misunderstanding about the 

198
00:11:14,300 --> 00:11:16,500
Old and New Testament? 
They go Old Testament. 

199
00:11:16,500 --> 00:11:18,900
Pretty severe. 
Those commands seem pretty 

200
00:11:18,900 --> 00:11:20,800
strict. 
Is it really though in 

201
00:11:20,800 --> 00:11:25,300
comparison to the New Testament,
You have the Ten Commandments do

202
00:11:25,300 --> 00:11:28,300
not commit. 
Adultery, you go to Jesus and he

203
00:11:28,300 --> 00:11:31,300
says, yeah, if you look at a 
woman with lust, you've already 

204
00:11:31,300 --> 00:11:37,800
done it, Don't commit murder. 
If we're honest with ourselves 

205
00:11:37,800 --> 00:11:40,600
we have a lot of murders in this
place according to New Covenant.

206
00:11:42,300 --> 00:11:45,000
Because if you have unrighteous 
anger towards your brother, 

207
00:11:45,500 --> 00:11:49,900
you've killed them. 
So is the New Testament really? 

208
00:11:50,600 --> 00:11:53,200
A lightening up on the law? 
Or is it an increase in the 

209
00:11:53,200 --> 00:11:59,500
standard According To Jesus? 
It is, but even with that 

210
00:11:59,500 --> 00:12:02,700
standard being set up by the 
Lord or clarifying what these 

211
00:12:02,700 --> 00:12:05,100
laws are all about. 
He provides a solution and it's 

212
00:12:05,100 --> 00:12:07,800
not diminishing, its law, it's 
changing your heart and mine. 

213
00:12:09,400 --> 00:12:12,400
And this gospel truth is right 
here and it continues because 

214
00:12:12,400 --> 00:12:15,300
she says, I want you to take 
these 10 commandments these 

215
00:12:15,300 --> 00:12:18,200
tablets and I want you to put 
them in an arc. 

216
00:12:20,100 --> 00:12:22,800
You know, what does that mean? 
Why in the ark? 

217
00:12:22,800 --> 00:12:25,600
Remember the ark. 
We talked about this chess piece

218
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:28,600
called The Arc, that would 
follow the Israelites Into the 

219
00:12:28,600 --> 00:12:30,900
Wilderness, through the 
Wilderness and into the promised

220
00:12:30,900 --> 00:12:33,800
land. 
And this golden Ark piece would 

221
00:12:33,800 --> 00:12:36,500
physically, symbolize the 
presence of God amongst the 

222
00:12:36,500 --> 00:12:40,500
people and so Moses was given 
instruction to build it. 

223
00:12:40,600 --> 00:12:43,800
And one man best lay ill, he was
the one who implemented and 

224
00:12:43,800 --> 00:12:48,100
executed it, but Moses received 
instruction take the tablets and

225
00:12:48,100 --> 00:12:52,700
put it in the arc. 
Why is that significant because 

226
00:12:52,700 --> 00:12:56,700
this Arc served a purpose? 
And the purpose was not just in 

227
00:12:56,700 --> 00:12:59,900
the fact that it was the 
Manifest presence of God, in a 

228
00:12:59,908 --> 00:13:05,800
physical sense, the lid, the lid
of that Arc was called something

229
00:13:06,200 --> 00:13:10,400
and it had a specific purpose in
relationship to the law. 

230
00:13:10,900 --> 00:13:13,800
Bible study, not sermon. 
Feels like it, I get it. 

231
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,800
But what is the lid mean, or 
what is the lid named? 

232
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,400
The Mercy Seat. 
The Mercy Seat. 

233
00:13:22,400 --> 00:13:26,900
So I'm going to read this from 
Exodus 25 20 When he was 

234
00:13:26,900 --> 00:13:29,600
receiving instruction, it says 
the cherubim, these Heavenly 

235
00:13:29,600 --> 00:13:32,200
Creatures would be planted on 
this Mercy. 

236
00:13:32,200 --> 00:13:35,800
See and they should spread their
wings above overshadowing. 

237
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:39,300
The mercy seat with their wings,
their faces towards one. 

238
00:13:39,300 --> 00:13:42,900
Another toward The Mercy Seat, 
shall the faces of the cherubim 

239
00:13:42,900 --> 00:13:46,000
be. 
And you shall put the mercy seat

240
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:49,300
on the top of the arc and the 
arc, you shall put the testimony

241
00:13:49,300 --> 00:13:52,200
that I shall give you. 
So even back in Exodus 20:5, 

242
00:13:52,400 --> 00:13:57,600
this whole thing was to carry. 
The Ten Commandments but The 

243
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:00,900
Mercy Seat would cover the Ten 
Commandments. 

244
00:14:03,300 --> 00:14:05,700
So what's the idea? 
There there is a sermon being 

245
00:14:05,700 --> 00:14:10,700
preached there that the tablets 
of stone which condemned, man 

246
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:15,400
and bring men into judgment are 
hidden and are covered and is 

247
00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:21,100
Shield by the mercy of God. 
By the mercy of God, is those as

248
00:14:21,100 --> 00:14:24,200
the indictment and the 
punishment that we deserve, as 

249
00:14:24,200 --> 00:14:28,700
we Face, the commands of God, it
is all protected and covered by 

250
00:14:28,700 --> 00:14:34,000
God's mercy, but that Mercy, 
wasn't just automatically 

251
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:36,100
implemented. 
Because there is a practice that

252
00:14:36,100 --> 00:14:41,400
the Israelites needed to hold to
to activate that Mercy on a 

253
00:14:41,400 --> 00:14:44,800
yearly basis. 
What was that practice? 

254
00:14:44,900 --> 00:14:47,900
It's a feast. 
That they were to keep once a 

255
00:14:47,908 --> 00:14:49,100
year. 
What was it? 

256
00:14:51,300 --> 00:14:57,100
Another one, the day of what? 
Atonement Leviticus 16, 14, that

257
00:14:57,100 --> 00:15:00,000
one day out of the year, a high 
priest will walk in and he would

258
00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:04,200
take blood from his sacrifice 
and sprinkle it on the mercy 

259
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,600
seat. 
And so it was the blood of 

260
00:15:06,600 --> 00:15:10,700
another sacrifice upon the mercy
seat, that would activate that 

261
00:15:10,700 --> 00:15:14,900
mercy and keep them Mercy 
flowing and covering with the 

262
00:15:14,900 --> 00:15:17,700
laws should do to us. 
And that is slay us. 

263
00:15:20,900 --> 00:15:23,800
Here's a picture of what happens
when you remove Mercy. 

264
00:15:25,100 --> 00:15:27,500
There was one time that this 
golden chest piece was removed 

265
00:15:27,500 --> 00:15:30,300
from the camp of Israel, and the
Philistines took it. 

266
00:15:31,200 --> 00:15:33,300
And when the Philistines took 
it, it took a few months for 

267
00:15:33,300 --> 00:15:35,500
them to realize that we're 
messing with a true and living 

268
00:15:35,500 --> 00:15:38,700
God plagues broke out. 
It was a mess, so they say, 

269
00:15:38,700 --> 00:15:40,700
let's bring this art back and 
they bring it back. 

270
00:15:40,700 --> 00:15:43,700
And once they bring it back out 
of excitement, the Israelites 

271
00:15:43,700 --> 00:15:46,500
realized the ark is back and so 
they come up to the ark and they

272
00:15:46,500 --> 00:15:48,000
do something that they shouldn't
have done. 

273
00:15:48,500 --> 00:15:51,100
The ESV doesn't do justice here 
to explain what happened. 

274
00:15:51,200 --> 00:15:54,800
If you have new King, James new 
King, James or nasb, it tells us

275
00:15:55,100 --> 00:15:57,600
In 1st Samuel 619. 
Look what happens. 

276
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:00,200
So, this are comes back and 
they're all freaking out. 

277
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:02,600
They're all excited. 
They come up to this golden 

278
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:06,400
piece and it's a holy thing, but
they do something Unholy. 

279
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,700
He struck some of the men have 
Beth Shemesh because they looked

280
00:16:09,700 --> 00:16:12,200
upon the ark. 
See the ESV says upon, anybody 

281
00:16:12,200 --> 00:16:15,000
have new King James. 
What does it say? 

282
00:16:16,900 --> 00:16:27,000
Okay, if you're there, could you
read it for us into the are? 

283
00:16:29,200 --> 00:16:31,800
so, according to that, what they
had done is they have come up to

284
00:16:31,808 --> 00:16:38,800
the arc They remove the lid. 
And they looked into it and when

285
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:41,300
they looked into it, here's a 
picture. 

286
00:16:41,300 --> 00:16:42,700
Yes, they touch something that 
was holding. 

287
00:16:42,700 --> 00:16:44,800
When the God said, don't touch 
the holy thing because your 

288
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:47,700
Unholy, but I like the picture 
there, that they remove the 

289
00:16:47,700 --> 00:16:50,700
mercy seat, and the law was 
exposed killing them. 

290
00:16:56,000 --> 00:16:59,700
And so we Here, gospel truth 
from Deuteronomy chapter 10. 

291
00:17:00,400 --> 00:17:03,800
That all of these symbolic 
things, tell us something that 

292
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:09,200
we are in need of God's grace. 
God's covering God's blood to 

293
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:13,200
Shield us from what we deserve 
and that is total, condemnation 

294
00:17:13,700 --> 00:17:18,000
and destruction because of our 
sin and our Disobedience, the 

295
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:23,500
law. 
So, he says these things and 

296
00:17:23,500 --> 00:17:25,700
then in verse 12, we skip 
through these things because we 

297
00:17:25,700 --> 00:17:27,300
cover them in our last Bible 
study. 

298
00:17:28,800 --> 00:17:32,800
And now Israel verse 12 of 
chapter 10, what does the Lord 

299
00:17:32,800 --> 00:17:37,600
your God require of you? 
That's a humbling question. 

300
00:17:37,600 --> 00:17:40,900
That's a sobering question. 
We've been hearing what God had 

301
00:17:40,900 --> 00:17:43,500
done for them, how God had 
responded to the intercession of

302
00:17:43,500 --> 00:17:45,400
Moses. 
And now, after all these 

303
00:17:45,400 --> 00:17:49,500
wonderful things being explained
he goes now here's the question.

304
00:17:50,000 --> 00:17:56,000
God requires something of you. 
What is it? 

305
00:17:57,000 --> 00:17:59,400
Now, we look at that. 
We go, I'm getting uncomfortable

306
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:01,600
here. 
Requirement, you've been talking

307
00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:04,400
about Grace and you've been 
talking about God's mercy and 

308
00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:05,900
provision. 
That's all true. 

309
00:18:06,200 --> 00:18:09,800
But Just be realistic here for 
any relationship to be 

310
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:14,300
maintained in a healthy way. 
There are requirements from both

311
00:18:14,300 --> 00:18:17,500
parties and both parties have to
meet those requirements. 

312
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:23,000
For relationship to be sustained
and experience and flourished 

313
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:27,400
with the most of abundance and 
joy, and blessing requirements 

314
00:18:27,400 --> 00:18:29,900
are laid down and they have to 
be met. 

315
00:18:29,900 --> 00:18:34,000
So now, God, turns the table and
says, I've given you so much and

316
00:18:34,000 --> 00:18:36,500
I am now requiring of you these 
very things. 

317
00:18:36,700 --> 00:18:39,200
Now we've touched on a lot of 
these things. 

318
00:18:39,500 --> 00:18:43,000
He says, fear the lord your God 
Walk in all his ways, love him, 

319
00:18:43,000 --> 00:18:45,000
serve the Lord, your God, with 
all your heart, with all your 

320
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:47,500
soul, and to keep the 
Commandments and statues of the 

321
00:18:47,500 --> 00:18:50,000
Lord, which Commanding you today
for your good? 

322
00:18:50,200 --> 00:18:51,900
See I love that last part for 
your good. 

323
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,500
It's not for you too because 
you're because I did this for 

324
00:18:54,500 --> 00:18:56,800
you, you better do this for me. 
It's actually for your good to 

325
00:18:56,800 --> 00:19:00,000
do it. 
Only if we would believe it for 

326
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,000
your good but this is what I 
want to focus on because Moses. 

327
00:19:03,500 --> 00:19:06,700
He's a preacher, he's preaching 
whole sermon, it's a long 

328
00:19:06,700 --> 00:19:08,200
sermon. 
We're only halfway through it. 

329
00:19:08,200 --> 00:19:12,400
Barely And when Moses is doing 
here is he's laying out the 

330
00:19:12,400 --> 00:19:15,400
requirements. 
But with every requirement he 

331
00:19:15,400 --> 00:19:19,100
brings a reason because this is 
what God requires for you and he

332
00:19:19,100 --> 00:19:22,300
goes, here's the reason. 
This is the response that God 

333
00:19:22,300 --> 00:19:27,000
wants from you, but here's why. 
So he gives a reason in order to

334
00:19:27,000 --> 00:19:28,800
motivate them. 
So when they hear these 

335
00:19:28,800 --> 00:19:30,800
Commandments, they have fuel to 
say. 

336
00:19:30,900 --> 00:19:32,000
Yeah. 
Yeah. 

337
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:34,300
I'm gonna do that. 
I really want to obey, I really 

338
00:19:34,300 --> 00:19:37,300
want to submit to fearing God 
into obeying God and loving God,

339
00:19:37,700 --> 00:19:41,100
he gives reasons and we touched 
on the We touch on the fear of 

340
00:19:41,100 --> 00:19:42,800
God, loving God, with all your 
heart mind. 

341
00:19:42,800 --> 00:19:44,400
So we touch on all this for this
study. 

342
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:51,900
I want to look at the reasons. 
I see three main reasons for us 

343
00:19:51,900 --> 00:19:55,900
to dive into the deep end of 
obedience and total surrender. 

344
00:19:55,900 --> 00:19:58,600
I mean, you come to the edge of 
the cliff and some people are 

345
00:19:58,600 --> 00:20:01,200
flirting with that and they go, 
I don't want to jump someone, 

346
00:20:01,200 --> 00:20:03,700
let my foot hang over there. 
I might hang over my hands. 

347
00:20:03,900 --> 00:20:07,600
I'm talking about reasons for us
to be able to boldly and 

348
00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:12,100
confidently, launch ourselves 
into the arms of God and total 

349
00:20:12,100 --> 00:20:16,200
obedience. 
He says here, in verse 14, 

350
00:20:16,900 --> 00:20:20,500
here's the one reason behold so 
he says, check it out. 

351
00:20:20,800 --> 00:20:25,400
Modern term. 
Realize this feel this. 

352
00:20:25,400 --> 00:20:30,400
No, this absorb, this behold to 
the Lord, your God, belong, 

353
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:33,600
Heaven, and the heaven of 
Heavens. 

354
00:20:34,400 --> 00:20:36,800
The Earth with all that is in 
it. 

355
00:20:39,600 --> 00:20:42,400
So pretty much wants to say 
listen, obey. 

356
00:20:42,400 --> 00:20:43,800
God follow God. 
Serve God. 

357
00:20:43,800 --> 00:20:46,200
Give everything to God, why? 
Because God owns everything. 

358
00:20:48,100 --> 00:20:49,900
You know, there's some people 
that might feel a sense of 

359
00:20:49,900 --> 00:20:53,000
Honor. 
If they know somebody else that 

360
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:57,000
might be a possessor of great 
things that my own a specific 

361
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:00,900
type of business with a specific
amount of Revenue that my own 

362
00:21:00,900 --> 00:21:04,700
specific amount of houses or 
luxury cars or lands. 

363
00:21:04,700 --> 00:21:07,000
And you might have this sense 
where, you know, this person you

364
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,300
go, I know. 
So and so and this is what they 

365
00:21:09,300 --> 00:21:10,900
own and this is the toys that 
they have. 

366
00:21:10,900 --> 00:21:13,300
And this is what they do and 
there's this sense of almost 

367
00:21:13,300 --> 00:21:15,000
privileging I'm buddies with 
this guy. 

368
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:18,600
Yeah, I got this guy's a cell. 
Phone number He invites me here 

369
00:21:18,600 --> 00:21:21,100
and there to go out to his place
over there in Switzerland or 

370
00:21:21,100 --> 00:21:25,700
whatever. 
And what Moses is trying to say 

371
00:21:25,700 --> 00:21:28,400
is, do you realize who your God 
is? 

372
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:36,700
He is the architect. 
The manager and the owner of 

373
00:21:36,700 --> 00:21:46,300
everything of everything. 
God literally owns every tier of

374
00:21:46,300 --> 00:21:48,100
every atmosphere that you can 
imagine. 

375
00:21:48,100 --> 00:21:51,700
That's why he says heaven. 
And the heaven of heavens. 

376
00:21:53,200 --> 00:21:55,800
He owns all of it. 
Next time you fly out and you 

377
00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:58,700
pass through those clouds and 
you see the Horizon, you realize

378
00:21:59,100 --> 00:22:01,800
God owns all of it. 
You scale through those 

379
00:22:01,800 --> 00:22:03,900
mountains, you look into the 
Horizon. 

380
00:22:03,900 --> 00:22:06,300
You go to the beach and you see 
those waves crashing go. 

381
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:11,000
God owns all of this. 
Earlier this year, my brother 

382
00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:14,500
and I had a chance to go to a 
specific place in the world 

383
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:17,900
that's known for its Majestic 
Beauty in the natural sense and 

384
00:22:17,900 --> 00:22:20,600
that was Iceland. 
And we kept driving because you 

385
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,200
feel like when you go to Iceland
you feel like you're in a 

386
00:22:22,208 --> 00:22:25,600
completely different world. 
There is barely any thing of 

387
00:22:25,600 --> 00:22:29,700
Life there even animals. 
It's just these Grand mountains,

388
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:33,100
you're driving 15 minutes and 
it's snowing and it's a blizzard

389
00:22:33,100 --> 00:22:35,100
and 30 minutes later it's 
sunshine. 

390
00:22:35,100 --> 00:22:37,200
And you see the Green Mountains 
with the muddy skip? 

391
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,500
You just realized it's just a 
different planet, almost And the

392
00:22:40,500 --> 00:22:42,800
question that keep recurring to 
me and I was saying it to my 

393
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:46,400
brother in the car, like Pete 
who owns this land, like, you'll

394
00:22:46,400 --> 00:22:48,100
see this tiny little house in 
behind a house. 

395
00:22:48,100 --> 00:22:50,500
Is this Majestic Peak Mountain? 
You go. 

396
00:22:50,600 --> 00:22:54,400
Is that the guys backyard? 
I don't understand who owns all 

397
00:22:54,400 --> 00:22:57,800
of this land, whose who, like, 
does the government owned? 

398
00:22:57,800 --> 00:22:59,900
It is there even a government? 
And I said, I haven't seen a 

399
00:22:59,908 --> 00:23:02,300
police car for so long. 
What's going on here? 

400
00:23:02,500 --> 00:23:05,200
What is this land? 
All about, and it dawned on me, 

401
00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:11,900
it belongs to God. 
Anyway, It's all his. so the 

402
00:23:11,900 --> 00:23:15,900
ocean is, is pool and the 
mountain, never mind the 

403
00:23:15,900 --> 00:23:20,200
mountain, the Earth Is His 
footstool And that's your God. 

404
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:23,900
And that's my God. 
If you're going to link with 

405
00:23:23,900 --> 00:23:27,000
anybody, if there's anyone that 
you want to boast in, it's not 

406
00:23:27,000 --> 00:23:30,300
in your successful buddy. 
It's not in the one that owns 

407
00:23:30,300 --> 00:23:33,900
this and that it's the god that 
claims everything. 

408
00:23:34,500 --> 00:23:36,900
There's a verse in the Bible 
that I often love to pray 

409
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:39,200
whenever it comes to 
specifically asking God for a 

410
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,600
need. 
Let me read it to you. 

411
00:23:40,608 --> 00:23:44,500
We can put up on the screen. 
It's in Psalms 50 verse 10 and 

412
00:23:44,500 --> 00:23:50,700
12 Look What the Lord says. 
He says for every beast of the 

413
00:23:50,700 --> 00:23:56,100
forest is mine, the cattle on a 
thousand hills. 

414
00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,200
I know all the birds of the 
hills and all that moves in. 

415
00:24:01,200 --> 00:24:06,800
The field is mine. 
If I were hungry, I would not 

416
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,900
tell you why for the world and 
its fullness are mine. 

417
00:24:13,800 --> 00:24:17,000
A preacher made this beautiful 
illustration concerning the 

418
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,800
return of Christ. 
We believe in a millennial 

419
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:23,900
Reign, we believe that Jesus 
Christ will come back physically

420
00:24:24,600 --> 00:24:27,400
and will plant his feet on a 
mountain, that mountain will 

421
00:24:27,400 --> 00:24:32,100
split into and Jesus Will begin 
a physical Kingdom on this Earth

422
00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,300
in which he will rule. 
The nations with an iron 

423
00:24:34,300 --> 00:24:37,900
scepter, and all people of all 
placed will come to worship on 

424
00:24:37,900 --> 00:24:39,500
the Mount of the lord. 
We believe that. 

425
00:24:41,100 --> 00:24:44,200
But the person expressed how it 
will be when Jesus Christ comes 

426
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,100
and it would many things are 
going to be happening. 

427
00:24:46,100 --> 00:24:49,100
But here's one thing he 
expressed that when he comes he 

428
00:24:49,100 --> 00:24:53,000
will stretch forth his hand over
all creation and he will state 

429
00:24:53,000 --> 00:24:59,100
in fatica lie. 
Mine mine, mine mine, it's all 

430
00:24:59,100 --> 00:25:05,700
mine. 
How silly is it going to be when

431
00:25:05,700 --> 00:25:07,400
people who have lived for? 
The things of this world will 

432
00:25:07,400 --> 00:25:11,100
have to Forfeit in the end to 
the one who claims it all in his

433
00:25:11,100 --> 00:25:15,700
name anyway. 
He's the owner of everything. 

434
00:25:16,300 --> 00:25:19,400
That's what he says in verse 14.
But then he says here in verse 

435
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,200
15 yet. 
So in spite of the fact that he 

436
00:25:22,200 --> 00:25:26,700
is so above, I mean, everything 
is his own yet as though to say 

437
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,300
realize this about how awesome 
he is the Lord set his heart in 

438
00:25:32,300 --> 00:25:36,700
Love on your father's and chose 
their offspring after them you 

439
00:25:36,700 --> 00:25:39,600
Above All Peoples as you are 
this day. 

440
00:25:40,700 --> 00:25:46,000
So, he says in essence. 
That though he is above and 

441
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,700
though he owns all things he 
still in his heart sets his 

442
00:25:49,700 --> 00:25:55,300
affection on you and on me, he's
in love. 

443
00:25:58,900 --> 00:26:04,600
He is stirred towards us. 
He saves us and this owner of 

444
00:26:04,600 --> 00:26:08,700
all things, brings us into his 
family and calls us his own. 

445
00:26:10,100 --> 00:26:14,300
See what Moses trying to do, 
he's trying to stir the hearts 

446
00:26:14,300 --> 00:26:16,800
to realize how this whole thing 
is relational. 

447
00:26:17,300 --> 00:26:19,400
And so, he's saying his 
affection is set on. 

448
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:22,600
You don't don't miss out on that
that any good that he does to. 

449
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,400
You is not just because you are 
fulfilling something called 

450
00:26:25,400 --> 00:26:27,600
obedience, it's not just because
you're obeying. 

451
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:28,800
Some things is he going to bless
you? 

452
00:26:28,800 --> 00:26:31,900
The same book tells us why he 
gives us good things. 

453
00:26:31,900 --> 00:26:34,100
Why He blesses us? 
Why he protects us? 

454
00:26:34,200 --> 00:26:37,700
Why he provides for us? 
It's in chapter 28 of the same 

455
00:26:37,700 --> 00:26:41,000
book verse 63. 
It's the first part it says, and

456
00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:45,400
as the Lord took the light, 
that's why, oh, he took Delight 

457
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,800
in doing you good and 
multiplying you it pleased him. 

458
00:26:50,900 --> 00:26:55,400
It pleased him 63 of chapter 28,
says that it's stirred him like 

459
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:58,600
a father that takes pleasure in 
giving good things to his 

460
00:26:58,600 --> 00:27:01,300
children. 
God the one who owns all things 

461
00:27:01,300 --> 00:27:05,900
the universe is in his name. 
Says, I take so much delight in 

462
00:27:05,900 --> 00:27:11,100
blessing. 
You So as much as you are in 

463
00:27:11,100 --> 00:27:13,300
that moment, experiencing the 
goodness of God, where you are 

464
00:27:13,300 --> 00:27:16,400
at one point in the week, 
bubbling up, because you realize

465
00:27:16,400 --> 00:27:20,800
God has been too good to you 
realize that at the same time, 

466
00:27:20,900 --> 00:27:23,900
there is a God in heaven, that 
is bubbling with that same Joy 

467
00:27:23,900 --> 00:27:27,200
even more as you relish and 
experience his favor. 

468
00:27:30,300 --> 00:27:35,100
Like this God, you know what the
other deities do? 

469
00:27:35,200 --> 00:27:39,100
They according to historical 
understandings, they would try 

470
00:27:39,100 --> 00:27:43,400
to make you convince them that 
they are worthy of rain or crops

471
00:27:43,900 --> 00:27:47,100
fertility. 
And this God is not like the 

472
00:27:47,100 --> 00:27:49,100
gods of the world. 
Like, even to this day, there 

473
00:27:49,100 --> 00:27:51,800
are people who worship the god 
of the sun and there are people 

474
00:27:51,800 --> 00:27:53,300
who worship the god of the 
ocean. 

475
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:55,800
They're in charge of the ocean. 
They make the waves come, they 

476
00:27:55,800 --> 00:27:58,600
make hurricanes happy. 
So let's make sacrifices to make

477
00:27:58,600 --> 00:28:01,200
sure that the water stays still 
Let's make sure that the god of 

478
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,600
the earth doesn't cause 
earthquakes. 

479
00:28:02,600 --> 00:28:06,100
So, let's make sacrifices. 
And this God says, I'm the god 

480
00:28:06,100 --> 00:28:09,400
of the water, the Earth, the 
sky, the clouds fertility, all 

481
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:13,200
of it, and not only that, I'm 
not in this to make you convince

482
00:28:13,200 --> 00:28:14,400
me that you're worthy of my 
love. 

483
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,600
I Delight in extending my grace,
do you? 

484
00:28:20,500 --> 00:28:22,100
Tell me which other God is like 
this. 

485
00:28:22,100 --> 00:28:27,700
God He doesn't even stop there. 
He comes down to verse 17. 

486
00:28:27,900 --> 00:28:31,500
The third point, the second one 
was that he is setting his 

487
00:28:31,500 --> 00:28:35,300
affection on us. 
This God and thirdly, he is all 

488
00:28:35,300 --> 00:28:38,800
powerful and all compassion, at 
the same time for the Lord, your

489
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:42,000
God, I love this, this can be a 
worship song for the Lord. 

490
00:28:42,000 --> 00:28:48,100
Your God is, God of gods and 
Lord of lords, the great, the 

491
00:28:48,100 --> 00:28:52,200
mighty, and the awesome. 
God, who is not partial and 

492
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:56,000
takes no bride. 
He executes Justice for the 

493
00:28:56,000 --> 00:28:59,400
fatherless and the Widow and 
loves a Sojourner, giving him 

494
00:28:59,400 --> 00:29:03,600
food and clothing. 
You cannot bring an equal to 

495
00:29:03,600 --> 00:29:06,800
this God. 
Nothing or no one can match the 

496
00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,900
purity of his Holiness, the 
purity of his Justice, the 

497
00:29:10,900 --> 00:29:15,400
purity of his power. 
Nothing can withstand or out 

498
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:19,800
with his will or his plan being 
implemented on the earth and 

499
00:29:19,800 --> 00:29:22,900
nothing in this world can 
ultimately say anything to him 

500
00:29:22,900 --> 00:29:25,600
to persuade him. 
To have their own way. 

501
00:29:25,600 --> 00:29:29,300
No matter how much bills they 
bring to the bank, he can't be 

502
00:29:29,300 --> 00:29:31,300
bribed. 
He can't be convinced. 

503
00:29:31,400 --> 00:29:35,900
He cannot be stirred or is 
turned concerning righteousness.

504
00:29:36,100 --> 00:29:38,300
Now you hear something about 
this, kind of a God and you kind

505
00:29:38,300 --> 00:29:40,300
of get the impression that he is
mighty. 

506
00:29:40,700 --> 00:29:43,200
He is big. 
He is Holy but he doesn't seem 

507
00:29:43,200 --> 00:29:47,700
very approachable. 
Or you can go to the extreme to 

508
00:29:47,700 --> 00:29:52,300
say this God, he has his way 
this God, his will is done no 

509
00:29:52,300 --> 00:29:55,300
matter what in the end. 
So he sounds more like a 

510
00:29:55,308 --> 00:30:00,700
dictator than a father. 
He sounds like a force that 

511
00:30:00,700 --> 00:30:04,500
bulldozes over creation to make 
sure that he has his flag 

512
00:30:04,500 --> 00:30:09,600
planted on all Hills. 
But it doesn't say that because 

513
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:11,600
Verse 18 tells us the tenderness
of this. 

514
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:15,800
God do not confuse God's power 
with coldness. 

515
00:30:17,500 --> 00:30:23,100
Do not confuse God's might with 
an uncaring spirit. 

516
00:30:24,500 --> 00:30:28,300
Do not confuse. 
God's awesomeness. 

517
00:30:29,400 --> 00:30:33,300
With a void of tenderness. 
Because look what it says he has

518
00:30:33,300 --> 00:30:35,600
three people in mind this. 
Holy God has three types of 

519
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:38,900
people on mind. 
The fatherless Verse 18 says, 

520
00:30:39,600 --> 00:30:43,700
the Widow and the Sojourner, the
little child that doesn't have a

521
00:30:43,700 --> 00:30:48,400
dad, he becomes her dad. 
The soldier that's traveling. 

522
00:30:48,500 --> 00:30:51,400
Void of things to maintain basic
survival. 

523
00:30:51,500 --> 00:30:57,500
He's the provider. 
The wife that is aching because 

524
00:30:58,300 --> 00:31:02,200
their spouse passed away, he 
becomes their husband and 

525
00:31:02,200 --> 00:31:07,000
protection and provision this, 
God zooms into the world and he 

526
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:11,000
becomes personal with these 
groups of people when we in our 

527
00:31:11,000 --> 00:31:13,600
sin, tend to even neglect and 
ignore these types. 

528
00:31:16,400 --> 00:31:17,200
It's no wonder. 
Look up. 

529
00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:21,200
Moses says in verse 21. 
He is your praise. 

530
00:31:24,700 --> 00:31:28,400
He's your praise like by the end
of the segment of his sermon, he

531
00:31:28,400 --> 00:31:32,100
comes to the conclusion. 
We goes, doesn't he as the 

532
00:31:32,100 --> 00:31:34,600
object of your adoration deserve
it? 

533
00:31:34,600 --> 00:31:37,500
That he is your worship? 
He is your praise. 

534
00:31:37,500 --> 00:31:40,900
He is the source of your joy. 
He is the theme of your song. 

535
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,900
He's the reason why you come 
even at the end of a week where 

536
00:31:43,900 --> 00:31:46,700
you're exhausted to say, you're 
still worthy of my praise 

537
00:31:46,700 --> 00:31:48,600
because of the things that we 
just unpacked. 

538
00:31:50,800 --> 00:31:52,700
He is your praise meaning, two 
things. 

539
00:31:52,700 --> 00:31:58,100
One is the object of all those 
things but to though he is these

540
00:31:58,100 --> 00:32:00,900
things and gives these things, 
even if these things are 

541
00:32:00,900 --> 00:32:05,600
experience, not just in me but 
through me she still gets 

542
00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:06,900
praised. 
Do you know? 

543
00:32:06,908 --> 00:32:09,600
I mean by that because God's 
goodness it's not just things 

544
00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:11,700
being given to us. 
God's goodness is expressed with

545
00:32:11,700 --> 00:32:15,200
things happening through us. 
Look at verse 22. 

546
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:19,800
He says here, your father's went
down to Egypt, 70 persons and 

547
00:32:19,800 --> 00:32:23,500
now the Lord, your God has made 
you as numerous as the stars of 

548
00:32:23,500 --> 00:32:30,000
Heaven. so this procreation, 
this multiplication of people, 

549
00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,100
That's a very human act, right? 
That's a very human thing that 

550
00:32:34,100 --> 00:32:36,700
is experienced between two 
people. 

551
00:32:37,100 --> 00:32:39,700
But as much as it might be 
between two people, God is 

552
00:32:39,700 --> 00:32:43,300
ultimately the one who provides 
it makes those things happen and

553
00:32:43,300 --> 00:32:46,600
so he still my praise. 
Even if I accomplish anything 

554
00:32:46,600 --> 00:32:49,200
with my own body, with my own 
hands, with my own mind with my 

555
00:32:49,200 --> 00:32:51,700
own eyes, he's still the object 
of my praise. 

556
00:32:52,200 --> 00:32:53,900
He is still worthy of My 
Worship. 

557
00:32:53,900 --> 00:32:55,600
He gets all the glory in the 
end. 

558
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:00,700
So, for weeks now we've been 
discovering different reasons 

559
00:33:00,700 --> 00:33:03,400
and different ways to maintain 
longevity. 

560
00:33:05,400 --> 00:33:08,600
In the blessings and the will 
and the plan for God in our 

561
00:33:08,600 --> 00:33:10,300
lives. 
So we come to this chapter, 

562
00:33:11,300 --> 00:33:13,900
Chapter 11. 
And this is where we are 

563
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:17,200
concluding here. 
He does something interesting. 

564
00:33:18,600 --> 00:33:20,400
Moses wants us to consider other
things. 

565
00:33:20,700 --> 00:33:23,300
Remember we've considered so 
many things up to this point. 

566
00:33:23,300 --> 00:33:27,300
Fear of God, love for God, the 
enemies outside the enemies 

567
00:33:27,300 --> 00:33:30,900
Within. 
My observance of the word of 

568
00:33:30,900 --> 00:33:32,800
God, rehearsing the word of God 
to my children. 

569
00:33:32,800 --> 00:33:37,100
Now, he comes to chapter 11 and 
he wants him to consider three 

570
00:33:37,100 --> 00:33:40,400
things, three more things. 
We're going to go through these 

571
00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:46,100
quickly maybe. 
Verse 1. 

572
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,300
You shall therefore. 
Love the Lord, your God and keep

573
00:33:49,300 --> 00:33:51,300
his charge. 
We've heard this so many times. 

574
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:57,200
But how his statutes his rules 
and his Commandments, always 

575
00:33:57,700 --> 00:34:02,200
here it is, verse 2. 
And consider today since I'm not

576
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,600
speaking to your children who 
have not known or seen it 

577
00:34:04,800 --> 00:34:06,800
consider. 
Here's the first one. 

578
00:34:06,800 --> 00:34:10,400
There's three 3D's. 
Here's the first D. 

579
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,500
Consider the discipline of the 
Lord. 

580
00:34:15,100 --> 00:34:17,300
Maybe he's giving them 
ingredients to know how to bring

581
00:34:17,300 --> 00:34:20,199
these ingredients together and 
maximize longevity in the will 

582
00:34:20,199 --> 00:34:23,199
of God. 
And you know what, discipline is

583
00:34:23,199 --> 00:34:28,699
not the primary meditation for 
many people who follow God in 

584
00:34:28,699 --> 00:34:31,699
their day-to-day walk. 
We love to meditate or many 

585
00:34:31,699 --> 00:34:33,900
things upon the Lord, but let's 
be honest. 

586
00:34:33,900 --> 00:34:38,000
Discipline is not one of them. 
But he says, considered 

587
00:34:38,000 --> 00:34:41,300
discipline consider God's 
chastisement. 

588
00:34:41,500 --> 00:34:45,800
Consider when God steps in as a 
father to correct his children. 

589
00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,400
And I want you to meditate on 
that. 

590
00:34:49,699 --> 00:34:54,300
And then he gives scenarios, he 
says different ones. 

591
00:34:54,300 --> 00:34:57,200
But here's to one main ones, he 
goes, his greatness, his mighty 

592
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,800
hand and his outstretched arm. 
His signs in his deeds that he 

593
00:34:59,800 --> 00:35:03,800
didn't Egypt to pharaoh. 
I want you to meditate on what 

594
00:35:03,800 --> 00:35:07,000
happened to pharaoh. 
And how I dealt with him. 

595
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:15,000
Really, yes, I want you to think
about how Pharaoh was and how I 

596
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:19,300
moved upon him and his Nation as
an act of discipline. 

597
00:35:21,800 --> 00:35:25,400
What's the purpose of that? 
To keep me in line? 

598
00:35:26,600 --> 00:35:29,100
Not just that he goes on to 
explain the things that happened

599
00:35:29,100 --> 00:35:31,000
in the wilderness and then he 
comes to a different place in 

600
00:35:31,008 --> 00:35:34,900
verse 6, and he was, and what he
did to dathan and abiram, the 

601
00:35:34,900 --> 00:35:37,800
sons of Elijah, the sons of 
Reuben, how the Earth opened its

602
00:35:37,800 --> 00:35:40,100
mouth and swallowed them up with
their households. 

603
00:35:41,200 --> 00:35:43,500
That's not something that we 
would tend to meditate on. 

604
00:35:44,100 --> 00:35:47,200
If there's a story in the Bible 
to help us in our Holiness, 

605
00:35:47,200 --> 00:35:51,100
sanctification one of the things
on my list would not be how the 

606
00:35:51,100 --> 00:35:55,000
Earth opened up and swallowed 
people alive and clothes on top 

607
00:35:55,000 --> 00:36:01,800
of them, but he Meditate on it. 
What did they send a Byram Cora 

608
00:36:02,700 --> 00:36:08,600
and Farrell have in common? 
I think one thing that they had 

609
00:36:08,600 --> 00:36:11,100
in common was this and this is 
what God has in mind with these 

610
00:36:11,100 --> 00:36:15,800
examples. 
That they fully knew the will of

611
00:36:15,800 --> 00:36:20,300
God and they still chose to 
rebel against it. 

612
00:36:20,800 --> 00:36:23,300
Willfully. 
Did you hear that? 

613
00:36:25,500 --> 00:36:27,500
God disciplines Us in different 
ways. 

614
00:36:27,500 --> 00:36:31,500
And God knows exactly how to 
discipline us, but when it comes

615
00:36:31,500 --> 00:36:35,100
to knowing the standard of God, 
knowing the word of God knowing 

616
00:36:35,100 --> 00:36:38,500
what God is doing, knowing what 
God is saying and then still 

617
00:36:38,500 --> 00:36:42,800
with my heart, come against it 
with my decisions. 

618
00:36:43,100 --> 00:36:47,000
I am in for a specific type of 
discipline that should keep us 

619
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:51,200
in the fear of God, Pharaoh knew
what God Said. 

620
00:36:51,400 --> 00:36:55,200
Let my people go and he did 
everything. 

621
00:36:55,300 --> 00:36:59,000
To not make that happen. 
Korah dathan. 

622
00:36:59,400 --> 00:37:04,600
And the guys with him knew that 
Moses and Aaron were the chosen 

623
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:07,300
leaders. 
They knew God spoke to about 

624
00:37:07,300 --> 00:37:09,200
that. 
Made it so clear and yet they 

625
00:37:09,200 --> 00:37:14,300
still willfully rebelled against
God's decision when we choose to

626
00:37:14,300 --> 00:37:18,100
know God's word and go against 
it willfully. 

627
00:37:20,200 --> 00:37:24,400
We're entering into a realm of 
God's discipline that God warns 

628
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:30,100
us about. 
And I thought about this just 

629
00:37:30,100 --> 00:37:32,400
studying it today, I was looking
at this going and what he I mean

630
00:37:32,400 --> 00:37:35,700
this happened back in numbers 
and he's still bringing it up 

631
00:37:35,700 --> 00:37:37,500
out of all the examples to bring
up. 

632
00:37:38,500 --> 00:37:42,100
Remember this. 
And I thought to myself, is 

633
00:37:42,100 --> 00:37:44,700
probably good to go back and 
look at it for all of us to 

634
00:37:44,700 --> 00:37:46,200
remember what happened in that 
scene. 

635
00:37:47,700 --> 00:37:55,700
So go to number 16th with me 
quickly. what Cora and these 

636
00:37:55,700 --> 00:38:00,300
guys did was they rebelled 
against God's chosen Authority, 

637
00:38:00,900 --> 00:38:05,100
which is ultimately rebelling 
against God, But, you know, my 

638
00:38:05,100 --> 00:38:08,300
question about that is, why did 
they come to that place? 

639
00:38:08,300 --> 00:38:11,300
How did they come to that place?
What was it within them that 

640
00:38:11,300 --> 00:38:14,200
caused them to come to a 
decision to say? 

641
00:38:14,300 --> 00:38:18,700
We are going to overthrow Moses 
and Aaron and we are going to 

642
00:38:18,700 --> 00:38:20,800
set up a new leader and we're 
going back to where we want to 

643
00:38:20,808 --> 00:38:22,700
go. 
And that's Egypt, it's 

644
00:38:22,700 --> 00:38:26,300
craziness. but I think that 
there are some lessons here to 

645
00:38:26,300 --> 00:38:30,900
remind ourselves because really 
it's Envy. 

646
00:38:32,600 --> 00:38:35,600
It's jealousy. 
Listen. 

647
00:38:37,500 --> 00:38:39,700
Have you known anybody that has 
Outburst of anger? 

648
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:44,500
Well, we heard a lot of memes 
there. 

649
00:38:46,800 --> 00:38:48,300
It's not a fun thing to live 
with. 

650
00:38:49,600 --> 00:38:52,500
It's not a fun thing to know, 
somebody who has that talk about

651
00:38:52,500 --> 00:38:54,400
outbursts of anger. 
It's like, I mean to the point 

652
00:38:54,400 --> 00:38:56,600
where you're scared to go to 
public with that kind of person.

653
00:38:58,100 --> 00:38:59,900
You're scared that anything will
set them off. 

654
00:39:01,400 --> 00:39:05,300
Somebody with anger issues. 
You know, the scripture says 

655
00:39:05,300 --> 00:39:09,500
that as atrocious as that is 
they the scriptures does a 

656
00:39:09,508 --> 00:39:13,400
contrast between anger and rage.
But then it says, when it comes 

657
00:39:13,400 --> 00:39:21,900
to jealousy, but who can stand 
before jealousy, And the reason 

658
00:39:21,900 --> 00:39:24,400
why jealousy is so scary, I'll 
tell you why. 

659
00:39:25,100 --> 00:39:28,300
Anger, you might be able to 
point to external things that 

660
00:39:28,300 --> 00:39:31,900
might trigger somebody off, but 
when it comes to jealousy, 

661
00:39:32,400 --> 00:39:36,500
what's scary, is that person who
is the object of one's, jealousy

662
00:39:36,600 --> 00:39:40,700
is not doing anything wrong. 
They're just doing what God told

663
00:39:40,700 --> 00:39:44,200
them to do. 
And yet there's still this 

664
00:39:45,400 --> 00:39:48,900
Monster within you, that wants 
to devour that person in your 

665
00:39:48,900 --> 00:39:52,400
mind and your thoughts. 
And so jealousies, and nasty 

666
00:39:52,400 --> 00:39:55,200
thing, unless by the spirit it 
comes and brings Deliverance. 

667
00:39:56,300 --> 00:40:00,900
These guys had a sense in which 
they did not realize anymore 

668
00:40:01,200 --> 00:40:04,500
that God is the one who chooses 
individuals for specific roles. 

669
00:40:05,300 --> 00:40:08,900
Look at verse 5 of number 16. 
When Moses heard it, he fell on 

670
00:40:08,900 --> 00:40:11,300
his face when he heard that they
have come to rebel against them 

671
00:40:11,300 --> 00:40:14,600
and to overthrow the authority 
and he said to Cora and all this

672
00:40:14,600 --> 00:40:19,100
company in the morning, the Lord
will show who is his and who is 

673
00:40:19,100 --> 00:40:21,800
Holy and will bring him near to 
him. 

674
00:40:22,300 --> 00:40:25,600
The one whom he chooses he will 
bring near to him. 

675
00:40:26,000 --> 00:40:28,900
See, they failed to realize that
it is God, who appoints? 

676
00:40:29,300 --> 00:40:33,000
It is God who anoints, it is, 
God who sets apart different, 

677
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:35,800
people for different tasks and 
not just different people with 

678
00:40:35,800 --> 00:40:37,800
different tasks. 
Here, me very carefully. 

679
00:40:38,100 --> 00:40:41,700
God even appoints, the level of 
influence that they have. 

680
00:40:43,100 --> 00:40:46,400
So, we always limit this to God 
gifts you with a certain gift. 

681
00:40:46,400 --> 00:40:49,000
God gives her with a certain 
gift that's all true. 

682
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:51,700
But even with that gift, look 
how Sovereign God is God, 

683
00:40:51,700 --> 00:40:55,300
determines the boundaries of 
their influence of how far and 

684
00:40:55,300 --> 00:40:57,100
how many people that gift will 
touch. 

685
00:40:58,200 --> 00:41:02,800
Say really, here's a verse 
second Corinthians. 2nd 

686
00:41:02,800 --> 00:41:05,000
Corinthians, 10:13. 
Look what Paul says. 

687
00:41:06,600 --> 00:41:09,600
In verse 13 of second 
Corinthians 10, but we will not 

688
00:41:09,600 --> 00:41:15,200
boast Beyond limits, but will 
boast only with regard to the 

689
00:41:15,200 --> 00:41:19,800
area of influence. 
God assigned to us, to reach, 

690
00:41:19,800 --> 00:41:23,400
even to. 
You is right there because 

691
00:41:23,400 --> 00:41:29,100
listen got assigned to us 
boundaries to wear influence of 

692
00:41:29,100 --> 00:41:31,500
our ministry. 
To the Gentiles will go and we 

693
00:41:31,500 --> 00:41:34,900
can't boast beyond that. 
God has given us this Outreach. 

694
00:41:34,900 --> 00:41:37,400
God has given us the ability. 
Come to you. 

695
00:41:38,300 --> 00:41:40,800
And so that's it. 
God assign that to us. 

696
00:41:43,300 --> 00:41:47,100
And so, what we begin to do is 
we can fall into jealousy when 

697
00:41:47,100 --> 00:41:49,400
we fail to realize that God is 
the one who appoints all this 

698
00:41:49,400 --> 00:41:52,900
stuff in the first place. 
And we have the right to pray 

699
00:41:52,900 --> 00:41:56,400
and ask the Lord. 
Lord broaden, the horizons of my

700
00:41:56,400 --> 00:41:58,900
influence Lord. 
Let me let me touch as many 

701
00:41:58,900 --> 00:42:00,500
people as I can while I still 
have breath. 

702
00:42:00,500 --> 00:42:03,300
And God in his sovereignty. 
In his wisdom, knows how much we

703
00:42:03,308 --> 00:42:06,100
can handle and who needs to be 
touched. 

704
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:11,700
But these men have come to a 
place where they fail to realize

705
00:42:11,700 --> 00:42:15,400
that it is God who appoints. 
Especially in a Ministry, 

706
00:42:15,400 --> 00:42:21,900
context, brothers and sisters. 
God is the boss. he hires, and 

707
00:42:21,908 --> 00:42:26,600
he fires, And it's a wonderful 
thing when God hires and he 

708
00:42:26,600 --> 00:42:30,100
exalts, and it's a scary thing. 
When God takes somebody, who is 

709
00:42:30,100 --> 00:42:35,000
in a place and brings them low. 
He's ultimately Sovereign all 

710
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,700
this people worried all the time
when they hear of something, how

711
00:42:37,700 --> 00:42:39,800
can this person who's in 
Ministry do this and how can 

712
00:42:39,800 --> 00:42:43,100
person who has that kind of an 
influence do that, they're not 

713
00:42:43,100 --> 00:42:47,200
dealing with a human boss who is
unaware of their Affairs in the 

714
00:42:47,200 --> 00:42:49,300
world. 
They're dealing with God. 

715
00:42:50,600 --> 00:42:53,900
And he assigns and he removes 
and he promotes and emotes. 

716
00:42:53,900 --> 00:42:59,000
It's all him. 
They've made this a merely human

717
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:02,000
thing. 
Now in verse 9, this is where 

718
00:43:02,000 --> 00:43:04,500
else they failed. 
It says here in verse 9 of 

719
00:43:04,500 --> 00:43:08,600
chapter 16. 
Look what Moses says in verse 8 

720
00:43:08,600 --> 00:43:12,700
and Moses said to Cora here. 
Now you sons of Levi, hold on 

721
00:43:12,700 --> 00:43:14,500
for a second. 
Okay. 

722
00:43:14,500 --> 00:43:18,300
These guys that were jealous and
envious of Moses and Aaron, they

723
00:43:18,300 --> 00:43:22,200
were sons of Levi. 
You know what the Levites were 

724
00:43:22,200 --> 00:43:24,100
instructed to do, right? 
Can anybody explain what the 

725
00:43:24,107 --> 00:43:31,100
Levites role was? 
The Levites. 

726
00:43:34,000 --> 00:43:37,600
So there are Levites who were 
priests? 

727
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:40,100
But listen, not all Levites were
priests. 

728
00:43:41,100 --> 00:43:44,600
You had people who had specific 
roles in which they handled the 

729
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:46,800
actual artifacts and the 
furniture that dealt with 

730
00:43:46,800 --> 00:43:49,900
intercession and sacrifice. 
Then you had Levites who 

731
00:43:49,900 --> 00:43:54,500
assisted these men, And we're 
not primary, the ones handling 

732
00:43:54,500 --> 00:43:56,100
these things. 
So you have those who are 

733
00:43:56,100 --> 00:44:00,100
directly involved with it, and 
yet those who assisted The 

734
00:44:00,100 --> 00:44:03,300
priests they were those who are 
still within there were those 

735
00:44:03,300 --> 00:44:06,700
who carried part of the tent. 
They were there but look what 

736
00:44:06,700 --> 00:44:09,400
they failed to do. 
They fail to realize what honor 

737
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:12,800
that was because he says in 
verse 9, is it too small. 

738
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:17,100
A thing for you. 
That the god of Israel has 

739
00:44:17,100 --> 00:44:20,700
separated you from the 
congregation of Israel to bring 

740
00:44:20,700 --> 00:44:23,400
you near to himself to do the 
service in the Tabernacle the 

741
00:44:23,400 --> 00:44:26,300
Lord and to stand before the 
congregation to minister to them

742
00:44:26,500 --> 00:44:28,100
and that he has brought you near
to him. 

743
00:44:28,100 --> 00:44:30,500
And all your brothers are sons 
of Levi with you. 

744
00:44:32,500 --> 00:44:34,600
See what people go wrong is when
they begin to look at their 

745
00:44:34,600 --> 00:44:37,500
Ministry or their life and they 
see it as a small thing and they

746
00:44:37,500 --> 00:44:40,000
compared to somebody else, who 
seems to be doing a big thing. 

747
00:44:41,200 --> 00:44:42,400
And the go. 
What about my life? 

748
00:44:42,400 --> 00:44:44,000
I'm insignificant. 
What about what I'm doing? 

749
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:45,100
I'm not touching, as many 
people. 

750
00:44:45,100 --> 00:44:47,700
I'm not as influential, I'm not 
as known. 

751
00:44:48,600 --> 00:44:51,000
See, when you begin to think 
that like that, you create a 

752
00:44:51,000 --> 00:44:54,100
breeding ground for covetousness
and envy and jealousy. 

753
00:44:56,900 --> 00:45:00,700
And so the sons of Korah these 
Levites have come to that place 

754
00:45:00,900 --> 00:45:04,000
and it was a disaster for them 
but what I love about the sons 

755
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,300
of Korah is that you read 
through numbers and you go 

756
00:45:06,300 --> 00:45:09,800
through the Old Testament you 
come to Psalms And you reach 

757
00:45:09,800 --> 00:45:12,500
something that is written by the
sons of Korah. 

758
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,100
And we sing it here sometimes 
and chapter 84. 

759
00:45:18,100 --> 00:45:23,800
Verse 10 for a day in your 
courts is better than a thousand

760
00:45:23,800 --> 00:45:25,800
elsewhere. 
Look what they say. 

761
00:45:26,000 --> 00:45:27,200
Do you think this will 
relationship? 

762
00:45:27,200 --> 00:45:29,700
Absolutely. 
These are the sons of Korah who 

763
00:45:29,700 --> 00:45:32,500
did not join their father core 
in Rebellion. 

764
00:45:32,500 --> 00:45:35,600
We found out that the sons of 
Korah when God said hey separate

765
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:38,200
yourselves from their camps, 
walk away, you know who walked 

766
00:45:38,200 --> 00:45:42,000
away the sons of Korah I'm sorry
Dad. 

767
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:42,600
I love you. 
Mom. 

768
00:45:42,600 --> 00:45:44,500
I love you but if you're going 
to rebel against God I'm 

769
00:45:44,500 --> 00:45:49,000
standing with God. 
And so the sons of Korah many 

770
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:51,300
years later, write this song and
look what they say. 

771
00:45:51,600 --> 00:45:54,800
I would rather be a doorkeeper 
in the house of my God than to 

772
00:45:54,808 --> 00:45:56,800
dwell in the tents of 
wickedness. 

773
00:45:59,900 --> 00:46:03,200
You know what they're saying? 
God, I'm satisfied with whatever

774
00:46:03,200 --> 00:46:06,500
Ministry you give me. 
Want to make me a doorkeeper. 

775
00:46:06,500 --> 00:46:09,100
Want to make me an usher. 
Want me to sweep the floor. 

776
00:46:09,600 --> 00:46:11,200
I don't need this. 
I don't need this. 

777
00:46:11,200 --> 00:46:12,800
I don't need no public. 
I don't need to be on the 

778
00:46:12,800 --> 00:46:15,300
camera. 
I don't need anything as long as

779
00:46:15,300 --> 00:46:17,400
I know that I have your 
presence. 

780
00:46:18,100 --> 00:46:21,700
I'm satisfied. 
I'm satisfied. 

781
00:46:22,900 --> 00:46:24,900
See their fathers were concerned
with position. 

782
00:46:24,900 --> 00:46:27,000
The suns were concerned with 
presence. 

783
00:46:28,800 --> 00:46:31,900
And when you begin to occupy 
your life, with position more 

784
00:46:31,900 --> 00:46:34,300
than presence, you are setting 
yourself up for disaster because

785
00:46:34,300 --> 00:46:36,900
I guarantee when you get to the 
position, you will still feel 

786
00:46:36,900 --> 00:46:44,100
void. so that was going to be 
important for these guys to go 

787
00:46:44,100 --> 00:46:49,900
in, because One of the things 
that will destroy you 

788
00:46:49,900 --> 00:46:52,900
experiencing God's promises in 
your life is when you begin to 

789
00:46:52,900 --> 00:46:57,700
covet other people's and are not
satisfied with him alone. 

790
00:47:00,600 --> 00:47:04,200
So now we come to the second D 
of chapter 11 one is considered 

791
00:47:04,200 --> 00:47:07,700
that this a plan of the Lord 
realize that God will do 

792
00:47:07,700 --> 00:47:12,700
something with my sin. 
If I'm Blatantly disobeying and 

793
00:47:12,700 --> 00:47:15,300
walking against the Lord, he 
will do something in his love. 

794
00:47:16,500 --> 00:47:17,500
I want you to think about 
something. 

795
00:47:17,500 --> 00:47:24,300
How do you know Jesus loves you?
He died for you, absolutely. 

796
00:47:25,700 --> 00:47:29,300
Have you ever thought about this
expression of God's love? 

797
00:47:29,400 --> 00:47:31,400
We don't think about it, but 
it's found in Revelations. 

798
00:47:31,400 --> 00:47:35,200
Chapter 3. 
We go to John 3:16. 

799
00:47:35,200 --> 00:47:40,700
Let's go to Revelation 3. 
Verse 19. 

800
00:47:42,900 --> 00:47:44,800
This is what Jesus has to a 
church. 

801
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:48,300
I want you to think about this 
the next time you might 

802
00:47:48,300 --> 00:47:52,000
experience God's discipline in 
any shape or form. 

803
00:47:53,300 --> 00:47:56,300
Those whom I love I reprove and 
discipline. 

804
00:48:00,600 --> 00:48:05,300
That's it. 
Those whom I love. 

805
00:48:06,700 --> 00:48:09,900
I'm going to discipline. 
I'm going to rebuke. 

806
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,600
I'm gonna deal with. 
See if you didn't love you and 

807
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:15,600
me he would let us get away with
our sin. 

808
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:18,400
He would let us get away with 
our apathy. 

809
00:48:20,200 --> 00:48:23,400
Oftentimes, in meeting sometimes
you see, people that listen are 

810
00:48:23,600 --> 00:48:27,300
severely dealt with by God 
because they have back slid and 

811
00:48:27,300 --> 00:48:29,100
they are crushed with 
conviction. 

812
00:48:29,200 --> 00:48:32,400
And I see that person standing 
before me, and I see tears, and 

813
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:35,600
I see Guilt and remorse, but at 
the same time, I see a love from

814
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:38,300
God to not leave them in that 
condition. 

815
00:48:38,300 --> 00:48:41,200
But the conviction to the point 
where it hurts the core only to 

816
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,500
bring them back into the center 
of his. 

817
00:48:42,500 --> 00:48:45,900
Will I just don't believe that. 
God loves me because he sent his

818
00:48:45,900 --> 00:48:48,800
son, I know that, but I believe 
that even as I walk and I walk 

819
00:48:48,800 --> 00:48:51,600
away, God, Discipline me and 
that is his love. 

820
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:53,900
He will do something with my 
Disobedience. 

821
00:48:53,900 --> 00:48:59,200
He will not keep me in it. 
Second D, that clock is frozen. 

822
00:48:59,200 --> 00:49:01,100
So you cannot blame me for going
through late here. 

823
00:49:02,900 --> 00:49:06,700
Verse 10 and 11. 
Not just the discipline of the 

824
00:49:06,700 --> 00:49:09,900
Lord, consider the dependency. 
We have on the Lord. 

825
00:49:10,700 --> 00:49:13,700
He says, for the land that you 
are entering to take possession.

826
00:49:13,700 --> 00:49:17,300
Of is not like the land of Egypt
from which you have come where 

827
00:49:17,300 --> 00:49:20,500
you sold your seat and irrigated
it like a garden of vegetables. 

828
00:49:20,800 --> 00:49:23,700
But the land that you are going 
over to possess as a land of 

829
00:49:23,700 --> 00:49:27,300
Hills and Valleys was drinks 
water by the rain from Heaven, a

830
00:49:27,300 --> 00:49:30,300
land that the Lord your God 
cares for the eyes of the Lord, 

831
00:49:30,300 --> 00:49:33,000
your God are always upon it from
the beginning of the year, to 

832
00:49:33,000 --> 00:49:34,900
the end of the year. 
We touch on this and Maranatha. 

833
00:49:34,900 --> 00:49:42,100
If you were That Isaac in the 
midst of a severe famine, wanted

834
00:49:42,100 --> 00:49:44,700
to go back to Egypt. 
And you would think when the 

835
00:49:44,700 --> 00:49:48,000
famine affect that part of the 
Middle East as well, could have.

836
00:49:48,300 --> 00:49:51,600
But there is a man-made water 
system that provided water, 

837
00:49:51,600 --> 00:49:54,400
because they were desert and 
they didn't have as much rain as

838
00:49:54,400 --> 00:50:00,300
this part would And this is a 
beautiful concept because what 

839
00:50:00,300 --> 00:50:02,900
he's saying is, as you are 
entering into the promised land 

840
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:05,100
as you are entering into from, I
will for your lives. 

841
00:50:05,100 --> 00:50:07,000
This is what you inherit check 
this out because it's true in 

842
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:12,300
the New Testament. 
You inherit a 24/7, guarantee, 

843
00:50:12,600 --> 00:50:17,600
surveillance, and Care from God.
He says, when you come into this

844
00:50:17,600 --> 00:50:20,300
land, when you come into my 
will, when you make a decision 

845
00:50:20,300 --> 00:50:23,400
to obey and to stay in where, I 
want you to be what you get with

846
00:50:23,400 --> 00:50:27,500
that is year to year month to 
month week, to week day by Day. 

847
00:50:27,500 --> 00:50:33,400
Second-by-second eyes on you. 
Eyes on your needs eyes on 

848
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:36,400
everything that you need for 
survival and joy. 

849
00:50:36,600 --> 00:50:41,500
I'm there. 
This is what you inherit. and 

850
00:50:41,500 --> 00:50:48,300
that's a wonderful thing, 
because That is what we have to 

851
00:50:48,300 --> 00:50:50,500
understand should be a 
motivation to Walking With 

852
00:50:50,500 --> 00:50:56,900
Jesus. 
So even if a man does come and 

853
00:50:56,900 --> 00:50:59,400
even if there's delay on rain, 
this is what. 

854
00:50:59,400 --> 00:51:03,000
I know he's there. 
I'm telling you guys, you have 

855
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,600
to, we have to live with a 
conscious awareness that he is 

856
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:08,800
really with me. 
Every single moment that is 

857
00:51:08,800 --> 00:51:11,800
life-changing that is 
life-changing. 

858
00:51:14,600 --> 00:51:16,600
See, Egypt is a system of the 
world that was working 

859
00:51:16,600 --> 00:51:20,200
independently from God's Aid. 
They were doing it their way, 

860
00:51:20,200 --> 00:51:21,600
they're doing it by their own 
strength. 

861
00:51:21,600 --> 00:51:23,800
And so things are happening. 
They didn't need to call out the

862
00:51:23,800 --> 00:51:28,500
guard necessarily. 
But if you were here on last 

863
00:51:28,500 --> 00:51:31,600
Wednesday and prayer meeting 
Ezekiel tells us something about

864
00:51:31,600 --> 00:51:34,700
this land, he gives description 
and I want to read it. 

865
00:51:34,800 --> 00:51:37,100
Ezekiel 20 verse 6. 
This is so beautiful. 

866
00:51:38,400 --> 00:51:40,900
He says, on that day, I swore to
them, that I would bring them 

867
00:51:40,900 --> 00:51:44,100
out of the land of Egypt into a 
land that I had searched out for

868
00:51:44,100 --> 00:51:47,500
them. 
God had searched out that land 

869
00:51:47,500 --> 00:51:50,200
for them. 
Listen, they sent spies. 

870
00:51:50,200 --> 00:51:53,700
Was that God's will? 
The people asked? 

871
00:51:53,900 --> 00:51:56,500
Moses to send spies? 
And God says, sure, but I 

872
00:51:56,500 --> 00:51:58,300
already did the searching. 
I don't know why you're going. 

873
00:52:01,100 --> 00:52:05,300
I already know your future. 
I already know what needs to be 

874
00:52:05,300 --> 00:52:06,500
provide. 
I know everything. 

875
00:52:06,500 --> 00:52:09,000
It's all set up for you. 
Why are you so scared? 

876
00:52:09,700 --> 00:52:12,000
Why do you feel like you need to
walk in unbelief? 

877
00:52:13,100 --> 00:52:16,500
Why are you so fearful I 
searched out the land and then 

878
00:52:16,500 --> 00:52:18,800
look what. 
He says a land flowing with milk

879
00:52:18,800 --> 00:52:21,500
and honey, the most glorious of 
all lands. 

880
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:27,300
The most glorious of all lands. 
Do you know why it was glorious?

881
00:52:27,600 --> 00:52:29,900
I believe, because what we read 
in Deuteronomy 11 because he's 

882
00:52:29,900 --> 00:52:34,300
watching over it. 
Day and night, night and day. 

883
00:52:34,700 --> 00:52:39,200
He's there that this 
geographical location is where 

884
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,900
God wants to bring his presence 
and power to be made manifest. 

885
00:52:45,300 --> 00:52:48,400
So, you know what that means for
us, in light of this study, that

886
00:52:48,400 --> 00:52:51,500
when I am wondering, whether I 
want to walk in the fullness of 

887
00:52:51,500 --> 00:52:53,300
God, I really want to fully 
surrender. 

888
00:52:53,300 --> 00:52:55,800
I know this that whatever God 
has for me in that is the most 

889
00:52:55,800 --> 00:52:59,800
glorious plan. 
Is the most glorious thing he 

890
00:52:59,800 --> 00:53:03,000
has in light of my life, nothing
less. 

891
00:53:03,200 --> 00:53:06,400
But Egypt has all this. 
I could care less. 

892
00:53:06,700 --> 00:53:09,600
What Egypt has or what Egypt has
to offer. 

893
00:53:10,100 --> 00:53:13,700
The Bible tells me the center of
God's will is the most glorious.

894
00:53:14,600 --> 00:53:16,000
I've said it many times before 
and I'll say it. 

895
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,300
Again, you can write down the 
best ideal concept of what your 

896
00:53:20,300 --> 00:53:23,200
life can be imagined. 
You had I want you to do this. 

897
00:53:23,500 --> 00:53:25,300
Imagine you had Limitless 
resources. 

898
00:53:25,600 --> 00:53:28,500
Imagine you can have any person 
in the world at your Choice. 

899
00:53:28,700 --> 00:53:31,200
Imagine you can have anything 
anything and you would write it 

900
00:53:31,200 --> 00:53:34,300
down on the list for the next 70
years of your life, 80 years, 

901
00:53:34,300 --> 00:53:37,200
whatever, that plan is whatever.
God has is way more glorious. 

902
00:53:37,700 --> 00:53:43,600
I promise you. 
But he tells them to go into 

903
00:53:43,600 --> 00:53:45,900
this land. 
I love it because it was 

904
00:53:45,900 --> 00:53:49,400
creating a dependency upon them.
So you can't rely necessarily on

905
00:53:49,400 --> 00:53:52,100
these systems to create Waters 
to take care of your Gardens. 

906
00:53:52,100 --> 00:53:55,600
You need rain from heaven and so
I'm bringing you here 

907
00:53:55,600 --> 00:53:59,700
geographically so that you would
continually seek me, wait on me,

908
00:53:59,900 --> 00:54:04,700
trust in me. 
Because, as much as we want, 

909
00:54:04,700 --> 00:54:07,900
God's will guess what God's will
involves dependency? 

910
00:54:09,300 --> 00:54:16,000
Lastly, the last D, it's in 
verse 16 of chapter 11. and I 

911
00:54:16,000 --> 00:54:24,200
looked, He says here, take care.
Lest your heart be here. 

912
00:54:24,200 --> 00:54:27,600
It is deceived. 
And you turn aside and serve 

913
00:54:27,600 --> 00:54:32,700
other gods and worship them. 
The first one was understanding 

914
00:54:32,700 --> 00:54:35,400
is discipline. 
The second one is understanding 

915
00:54:35,400 --> 00:54:36,500
my dependency. 
In the third. 

916
00:54:36,500 --> 00:54:38,900
One is understanding the 
possibility of my heart being 

917
00:54:38,900 --> 00:54:43,600
deceived. 
So he gives warning, he says 

918
00:54:43,600 --> 00:54:46,300
listen even in the midst of all 
of this goodness, because he 

919
00:54:46,300 --> 00:54:49,700
just goes on to describe how he 
will provide the former rain and

920
00:54:49,700 --> 00:54:51,800
the later rain, and it's all 
going to be taken care of. 

921
00:54:51,800 --> 00:54:55,400
And then he inserts this warning
yet, take care of that. 

922
00:54:55,400 --> 00:54:59,200
Your hearts, don't get caught up
in deception and you turn aside 

923
00:54:59,500 --> 00:55:02,100
and follow other gods. 
You know what, I've always 

924
00:55:02,100 --> 00:55:03,300
wondered. 
How is it? 

925
00:55:03,300 --> 00:55:05,900
That people who experienced the 
goodness of God, who have tasted

926
00:55:05,900 --> 00:55:07,900
his presence who's seen works of
God? 

927
00:55:07,900 --> 00:55:10,700
Who are one time. 
So in the will of God, Think 

928
00:55:10,700 --> 00:55:15,500
turn aside. 
How do they go into another 

929
00:55:15,500 --> 00:55:17,200
Direction? 
And now they're fully blatantly 

930
00:55:17,200 --> 00:55:18,600
serving other gods, many 
reasons. 

931
00:55:18,600 --> 00:55:21,000
And here's one of them 
deception. 

932
00:55:25,200 --> 00:55:28,800
Because it says, beware lest 
your heart, be deceived and then

933
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:31,200
you turn aside and follow other 
gods. 

934
00:55:31,200 --> 00:55:32,700
So it didn't start with turning 
aside. 

935
00:55:32,700 --> 00:55:34,700
And then deception came. 
It was deception that made them 

936
00:55:34,700 --> 00:55:37,900
turn aside. 
They believe something to be 

937
00:55:37,900 --> 00:55:40,800
true when it was blatantly false
and they bought the LIE, they 

938
00:55:40,800 --> 00:55:42,900
were convinced of it and they 
headed toward a direction that 

939
00:55:42,900 --> 00:55:48,100
pull them away from truth. 
So, big reason for why many 

940
00:55:48,100 --> 00:55:52,300
people can turn away is because 
deception has crept in and 

941
00:55:52,300 --> 00:55:56,500
convince them of a truth that 
was actually false and they 

942
00:55:56,500 --> 00:56:01,300
bought it. 
Do you realize that Temptation 

943
00:56:01,300 --> 00:56:03,700
within itself? 
Is a deception. 

944
00:56:03,700 --> 00:56:07,000
Every time it presents itself. 
Every time sin comes up and says

945
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,400
taste it. 
Every time sin comes is open 

946
00:56:09,500 --> 00:56:12,000
every time, the sin comes and 
says, look for it every time 

947
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,600
since it's just do it. 
Every time it's deception. 

948
00:56:16,200 --> 00:56:19,200
And that pull that you feel 
within that that pull that 

949
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,000
you're getting in that moment, 
what it's saying to you, is this

950
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:28,100
sin is better than God. 
Every time. 

951
00:56:29,400 --> 00:56:32,300
And what people do is that they 
open themselves up to deception,

952
00:56:32,900 --> 00:56:34,700
do you realize why we have to 
get into the word of God every 

953
00:56:34,700 --> 00:56:40,500
day? 
Every moment I can, yes, we have

954
00:56:40,500 --> 00:56:43,300
other things to do, but I must 
give something to the Lord in 

955
00:56:43,300 --> 00:56:45,400
order to filter my heart from 
deception. 

956
00:56:47,000 --> 00:56:49,400
To give myself to understanding.
What truth is that when 

957
00:56:49,400 --> 00:56:51,800
Deception comes? 
I can identify and laser beam it

958
00:56:51,800 --> 00:56:55,700
out of my system. 
Because Hebrews 3:13 tells us 

959
00:56:55,700 --> 00:57:00,000
that our hearts can be hardened 
by the deceitfulness of sin. 

960
00:57:01,800 --> 00:57:05,300
And so, the antidote to that is 
truth and remaining in the 

961
00:57:05,300 --> 00:57:07,900
truth. 
And that goes back to other 

962
00:57:07,900 --> 00:57:09,500
things. 
That Moses said, rehearsing the 

963
00:57:09,500 --> 00:57:11,700
word of God coming to the word 
of God, washing ourselves with 

964
00:57:11,700 --> 00:57:17,200
the word of God, lest our 
hearts, be susceptible to lies 

965
00:57:17,500 --> 00:57:23,000
and me walking in those lies. 
And I'm going to end on that 

966
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:29,300
note to say this. 
That maybe you're in this place.

967
00:57:31,700 --> 00:57:33,700
And your heart is turned away 
from God. 

968
00:57:35,800 --> 00:57:41,100
Because you believe the lie. 
About a substance about a 

969
00:57:41,100 --> 00:57:46,300
person, but a way of life about 
who God is, but what this whole 

970
00:57:46,300 --> 00:57:49,900
Christian experience is about. 
You have bought into a lie that 

971
00:57:49,900 --> 00:57:52,800
has made you turn aside to 
follow other gods. 

972
00:57:57,800 --> 00:58:00,600
I declare to you on this Friday 
night as many people in here. 

973
00:58:00,600 --> 00:58:04,800
Now, That walking in the 
fullness of the will of God is 

974
00:58:04,800 --> 00:58:06,700
more glorious than what you're 
experiencing. 

975
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:14,200
And that every time Temptation 
presents itself, people of God. 

976
00:58:15,200 --> 00:58:19,300
You and I must realize, but 
obedience to him is much more. 

977
00:58:19,300 --> 00:58:24,800
Glorious waiting on him is much 
more glorious trusting in Him is

978
00:58:24,800 --> 00:58:30,500
much more glorious. 
If you're in this place tonight 

979
00:58:30,500 --> 00:58:34,300
and your heart is not fully set 
on living for Christ 

980
00:58:34,300 --> 00:58:37,200
surrendering to Christ. 
Can you ask yourself this 

981
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,100
question? 
And I encourage you people of 

982
00:58:39,100 --> 00:58:42,300
God to ask people. 
This question in evangelism in 

983
00:58:42,300 --> 00:58:45,200
your witness to your family, 
your friends always ask this 

984
00:58:45,200 --> 00:58:46,700
question, it's a beautiful 
question. 

985
00:58:49,100 --> 00:58:50,500
You heard the gospel? 
Yes. 

986
00:58:51,400 --> 00:58:54,000
What's holding you back from 
saying yes? 

987
00:58:54,900 --> 00:59:00,000
Just ask that. 
And see how people come into 

988
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:03,700
bewilderment. 
See how people in the moment you

989
00:59:03,700 --> 00:59:06,100
will see it most of the time. 
People just the lights are 

990
00:59:06,100 --> 00:59:09,700
turning out due to do and they 
realize If they're honest with 

991
00:59:09,700 --> 00:59:12,500
themselves, they will begin to 
cough up answers. 

992
00:59:13,800 --> 00:59:17,200
And if they are not one of the 
best answers, you can get, is 

993
00:59:17,200 --> 00:59:22,200
this nothing. 
Nothing's holding me back. 

994
00:59:23,700 --> 00:59:25,700
Then do you want to follow Jesus
Christ surrender to him? 

995
00:59:26,000 --> 00:59:27,000
Yeah. 
Yeah, I do. 

996
00:59:29,200 --> 00:59:32,400
But I want to ask you that 
question in your heart. 

997
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:36,600
What's holding you back from 
surrendering to him all over 

998
00:59:36,600 --> 00:59:40,100
again? 
Whatever it is. 

999
00:59:40,800 --> 00:59:45,200
According to this Bible study. 
Who God is and what God has for 

1000
00:59:45,200 --> 00:59:49,700
you is so much better. 
Promise you with the authority 

1001
00:59:49,700 --> 00:59:51,200
of the scriptures, not my 
opinion. 

1002
00:59:53,400 --> 00:59:56,100
So tonight guys, I understand 
some are tired. 

1003
00:59:56,100 --> 00:59:58,400
Some are weary some are ready to
get in the cars and go home for 

1004
00:59:58,400 --> 01:00:00,000
a good night's sleep. 
But can we do one more thing 

1005
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:04,300
before we do that? 
Scripture tells us in verse 21 

1006
01:00:04,300 --> 01:00:08,000
and chapter 10, he is your 
praise in light of how good he 

1007
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:09,600
has been. 
And that's what we're going to 

1008
01:00:09,607 --> 01:00:13,700
do right now seek his face and 
just tell him one more time Lord

1009
01:00:13,700 --> 01:00:16,000
you are good and your worthy of 
my affection. 

1010
01:00:16,300 --> 01:00:52,900
You bow your heads tonight. 
Do we choose to read this verse 

1011
01:00:52,900 --> 01:00:54,600
in light of addressing you 
tonight? 

1012
01:00:55,100 --> 01:01:00,000
And we see here that you tell us
For the Lord, your God is, God 

1013
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:06,700
of gods and Lord of lords, the 
great, the mighty, and the 

1014
01:01:06,700 --> 01:01:09,800
awesome. 
God, who is not partial and 

1015
01:01:09,800 --> 01:01:13,500
takes, no bribe, he executes 
Justice for the fatherless and 

1016
01:01:13,500 --> 01:01:16,500
the Widow and loves the 
Sojourner, giving him food and 

1017
01:01:16,500 --> 01:01:20,000
clothing. 
Lori read in verse 14, 

1018
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:24,500
addressing you behold. 
To the Lord, your God belong, 

1019
01:01:24,500 --> 01:01:27,400
Heaven, and the heaven of 
heavens. 

1020
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,500
The Earth with all that is in it
yet. 

1021
01:01:31,500 --> 01:01:35,100
The Lord said his heart and love
on you. 

1022
01:01:35,600 --> 01:01:38,700
Your father's chose their 
offspring, after them you Above 

1023
01:01:38,700 --> 01:01:43,600
All Peoples as you are this day.
God we choose to really believe 

1024
01:01:43,600 --> 01:01:46,800
this tonight and we pray that 
you would receive our praise in 

1025
01:01:46,800 --> 01:01:49,600
light of it. 
Father, we pray for the person 

1026
01:01:49,600 --> 01:01:51,500
whose heart might have turned 
away and deception. 

1027
01:01:52,100 --> 01:01:55,400
May they know right now that you
are ready to receive them. 

1028
01:01:56,100 --> 01:02:00,500
You are ready to see them. 
Come into your Arms and 

1029
01:02:00,500 --> 01:02:04,100
fellowship rest or lured, by the
finished work of Jesus Christ. 

1030
01:02:04,100 --> 01:02:07,500
Let them know that tonight, let 
them know that tonight that if 

1031
01:02:07,500 --> 01:02:11,400
they were one who walk with you,
but walked away that you giving 

1032
01:02:11,400 --> 01:02:13,800
this word, as an act of 
discipline, to convict him to 

1033
01:02:13,800 --> 01:02:16,800
bring to that, place of 
restoration and Reconciliation, 

1034
01:02:16,800 --> 01:02:19,800
speak to your people. 
Lord, speak to your people, by 

1035
01:02:19,800 --> 01:02:22,100
your spirit. 
Now exactly what we need to hear

1036
01:02:22,100 --> 01:02:24,300
about Lord, may you receive this
from all people here. 

1037
01:02:24,300 --> 01:02:26,800
And that is praise. 
We ask these things in Jesus 

1038
01:02:26,800 --> 01:02:28,100
name. 
Amen.
